After Market Stereo

[Haqdelta]

Hope everyone is well and safe . I ordered a double din navigation with android etc. Has anyone had any experience with installation and how to get steering controls to function . I have basic knowledge but would love advice from the masters on this forum . Keep safe.

Hi there,

Replacing the factory radio with a double-din aftermarket one is not as straight-forward as it might seem.

First of all, the Delta stereo, both with and without navigation, uses a single din slot. If you want to add a double-din stereo there will be some modification to do.

You will surely need a harness to connect the aftermarket stereo to the Deltas cables, plus an adapter to allow you to use the steering wheel controls.

Such adapters and harnesses exist for the top brands (Pioneer, Sony etc) and you can find them on ebay.

Not sure they exist for no-name android units.

If you cannot find a steering wheel controls adapter for Lancia Delta, try Lancia Ypsilon or Fiat. 

Also beware : some of these Chinese android units are not standard dimensions... it might not fit in the slot.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the link would have never found these videos on YouTube . I spent days looking for delta videos but was unable . The new stereo comes with a iso lead with connectors on both side . Will it be ok for me to use this plug on the conects2 steering harness once it arrives. Regards
